| Abstract: | Research in England’s Heritage Libraries
Abigail Brundin, Professor of Italian in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics, has been collaborating for some years with major heritage organisations English Heritage and the National Trust, to investigate historic libraries in situ in England’s great houses and organise exhibitions, publications and collaborations that engage with these unexplored collections. In 2019, Brundin worked closely with Dr Peter Moore and staff at Audley End in Essex to stage an exhibition in the house’s historic library, as well as bringing books at Audley End into conversation with books in Cambridge libraries via a virtual exhibition hosted by Cambridge University Library. In this video, she shares her experience of organising ‘Souvenirs of Italy: an English Family Abroad’ at Audley End', and the significance of impact partnerships for research. The Audley End exhibition was positively reviewed online and on social media. ‘National Trust libraries: an untapped resource. A pilot study of Italian holdings at Belton House, Lincolnshire (2012-13)’ was supported by the AHRC (AH/J005118/1).
